X10DGO(-T/-SXM) Motherboard User’s Manual Processor and Chipset Overview Built upon the functionality and capability of the dual Intel® Xeon EP E5-2600 v3/v4 series processors (Socket R3) and the Intel® PCH C612, the X10DGO(-T ) motherboard provides the best balanced solution of performance, power-efficien- cy, and features to address the diverse needs of next-generation computer users.
Chapter 1: Overview Special Features Recovery from AC Power Loss The Basic I/O System (BIOS) provides a setting that determines how the system will respond when AC power is lost and then restored to the system. You can choose for the system to remain powered off (in which case you must press the power switch to turn it back on), or for it to automatically return to the power-on state.
X10DGO(-T/-SXM) Motherboard User’s Manual System Resource Alert This feature is available when used with SuperDoctor® 5. SuperDoctor® 5 is used to notify the user of certain system events. For example, you can configure SuperDoctor® 5 to provide you with warnings when the system temperature, CPU temperatures, voltages, and fan speeds go beyond a predefined range.
Chapter 1: Overview Intel ® Intelligent Power Node Manager (IPNM) (Available when the SPM Utility is Installed) The Intel® Intelligent Power Node Manager 3.0 (IPNM) provides your system with real-time thermal control and power management for maximum energy efficiency. Although IPNM Specification Version 2.0/3.0 is supported by the BMC (Baseboard Management Controller), your system must also have IPNM-compatible Manage- ment Engine (ME) firmware installed to use this feature.

Chapter 2: Installation Motherboard Installation All motherboards have standard mounting holes to fit different types of chassis. Make sure that the locations of all the mounting holes for both motherboard and chassis match. Although a chassis may have both plastic and metal mounting fas- teners, metal ones are highly recommended because they ground the motherboard to the chassis.
X10DGO(-T/-SXM) Motherboard User’s Manual Installing the Motherboard 1. Install the I/O shield into the chassis. 2. Locate the mounting holes on the motherboard. 3. Locate the matching mounting holes on the chassis. Align the mounting holes on the motherboard against the mounting holes on the chassis. 4.
